Martin Lawrence Galleries (MLG) South Coast has partnered with the City of Costa Mesa to declare October 2016 as Mark Kostabi Month. Kostabi will be presented with a proclamation from Costa Mesa's Mayor Stephen Mensinger at "Meet the Artist: Mark Kostabi."
Kostabi is a prominent figure from the New York 1984 East Village art scene. The public art reception will take place October 22, 2016, from 7-9PM. MLG South Coast is located at 3333 Bear Street, Suite 202, Costa Mesa, CA 92626. "Why are the figures faceless? It's a universal language free of racial limitations, and a reflection of society's fear of individuality," said Mark Kostabi, Artist. "The MLG South Coast has been in business for over 40 years and self-proclaimed Mark Kostabi is a California State University Fullerton alumn with Southern California roots that we associate with as a local art business," said Kenneth W. Lawrence, Gallery Director. "The City of Costa Mesa residents are exposed to the fine taste of performing arts, yet, to celebrate the accomplishments of Mr. Mark Kostabi shall bring inspiration to the emerging visual artists," said Stephen Mensinger, Mayor of Costa Mesa. "Our Cultural Arts Committee works with City Council to bring art awareness to the residents in the City of the Arts."Videos
